The Good Life, On Less

About

Simply Silicon Valley exists to help people flourish in this expensive, fast-paced region. I don’t have all the answers–I’m in the trenches right alongside you–but I do have ideas for ways to simplify and enrich our lives. I write short articles about things that are: practical, easy, inexpensive, durable, time-saving, healthy, active, beautiful, adventurous, playful, and even sometimes a bit rule-bending.

My parents were raised amongst the apricot orchards of Los Altos and Cupertino, giving me the title of a second-generation Silicon Valley native. In 2002, I graduated from Georgetown University with a Bachelor of Arts. I've been happily married to Justin for 14 years and we are raising three sons in Silicon Valley.
